Don't give up! Michigan Pupil Accounting allows for "independent study" courses that can count towards graduation requirements. By the way, Michigan requires three full years of science for high school graduation - 1 year of Biology, 1 year of Chemistry or Physics and 1 year of a lab-based science course. These courses are taught in a variety of delivery modes ranging from the traditional AP, college prep style as well as styles that align with practical understandings.

While your district probably had good intentions, they have to offer the required courses to the students.

Curriculum development is a long-term project. If you are looking for some Michigan specific resources, PM me.
